After the difficulties of the stages faced in Normandy and Brittany, today's stage on paper is destined for sprinters: there is plenty of flat terrain, a single mountain point, some wind-related risks, but the yellow jersey will likely find valuable allies in the sprinters' teams who will work to control actions and breakaways. If it comes to a sprint, power will prevail: the last kilometer, in fact, is entirely on a slight uphill.
